Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 Going into the blazing fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
